My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 77

"What? He is going to stay at your place tonight?" Eric's face distorted in anger. He slowly turned to look at Rachel in anger. "You must be crazy!"

He didn't want Rachel to get too close to Jack, but it seemed that recently, everything was going against his will.

Rachel sighed, she understood why Eric was acting this way. She patted his back to comfort him. "Don't worry, okay?"

She decided not to explain that they made a deal regarding the divorce.

"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

Jack stepped aside to answer the phone.

Lea leaned over and dragged her to a corner. "What's going on? Why is he still here?"

Rachel rubbed her forehead in response. Just as she was about to say something, she caught Eric glaring at them.

She groaned internally, knowing that if he found out the truth, he would definitely fight with Jack.

She knew that he wouldn't physically fight him, but he would definitely shout.

She didn't want something like that to happen.

It would be better if she would settle things peacefully with Jack. ■d

After a short pause,

she lowered her voice and said, "I'll tell you when I get back."

She took out her phone and typed, "We signed the divorce agreement today."

She glanced to see what Lea's reaction would be.

Lea opened her mouth wide, and her jaw dropped.

"Don't worry about it," Rachel said.

"What are you talking about?" Eric came over. "Is there something you would like to tell me?"

Rachel turned around and patted him on the head. "Don't worry. I'll tell you when the right time comes."

Eric's face contorted and he narrowed his eyes at her in suspicion. "What do you mean by that?"

"Don't ask now."

Eric rolled his eyes and looked towards Jack's direction. He frowned. "I'm guessing that it has something to do with him, huh?"

Rachel curled up her lips and said, "Don't be in hurry to know. I'll tell you when I am ready to."

He pursed his lips and grumbled, "I don't want to listen to bad news."

"No bad news."

Lea was still in shock by what she found out a couple of minutes ago. Wasn't it too soon to sign the divorce agreement? ■d

"Hey." She pushed Rachel. "I want answers right now."

Meanwhile, at Jack's apartment The doorbell rang three times in a row. Celine impatiently paced in front of the door. 'Maybe Jack's not at home now.'

For the whole day she worried about him. Since their last phone call, she hadn't been able to contact him again.

Celine even called his secretary, Austin. But even he didn't know his whereabouts.

What a useless secretary, she scoffed. How could he not know where Jack's was?

Rachel realized that Jack must had told Austin not to tell her where he was.

Celine's heart sank.

Why did she have this feeling that they were about to break up?

She had no sense of propriety.

She had called him several times, but he didn't answer her phone call or text her back. She didn't even know where he was. She had asked all his friends if they knew where he was, but nobody had a damn clue!

She was so used to being covered with his love and indulgence. She had always thought she controlled him.

But now that he was ignoring her, she realized that she had taken him for granted.

She rang the bell again, and like the other times, nobody came. Frustrated, Celine crouched on ■d

the floor with a panic look in her eyes.

She took out her cell phone, but she didn't know whom she should call.

She opened her contact list and scrolled through the names of the rich men and ladies. Perhaps one of them could tell her where he was.

But that would also mean she would be risking exposing her current relationship with Jack. People would probably judge her and spread rumors.

No, she couldn't ask others about him. She couldn't risk exposing the fact that they were having problems.

Celine stared at her contact list and not knowing what to do. She texted Jack again to apologize.

Celine didn't know why Jack suddenly became so cold.

"Jack!" She felt her heart breaking into pieces.

She knelt on the floor and began crying. She had never suffered this emotion before. She dialed his number again, hoping that he would answer. But like the times before, he didn't answer her call.

To her demise, Jack had blocked her phone number.

Earlier in the day, Austin had informed him that Celine had been searching for her. It seemed that Jack was determined to break up with her.

Once Jack made up his mind, it was hard for Celine to make him change his mind.
